Scheduling and Drafting are 2 VERY different things.

I might be a bit stupid. And angry. More posts to come.

13’s Having Flashbacks Pt. 5

I’m neither creative enough, nor vain enough to try to one-up most of the stuff 13 writes in his SOTD posts. I’ll let you focus on it after the bump.

-XIV

T.W.o -BAGO!!!!!

Just like previously, Two Weeks of Bago this time. I wonder how I’m going to do this with most of her music being on SC. But we’re going to start with a video for “Bath Salts” the first song from the album Sunday’s Best.

 

We’re going to listen to the entire album of “Sunday’s Best” and maybe some more. Let’s have a good ride folks.

13’s Having Flashbacks Pt. 4

What’s that? You thought the flashbacks were over? Blame my short attention span and the fact that i’m a bit slow sometimes. But, don’t worry. Tuesdays & Thursdays are flashback days. I’m going to go lie down and try to remember last month…

Sailor Moon: Crystal Episode 1

(c) Toei

So, I watched the new Sailor Moon this evening (morning for you people who are overly specific), And, I went in with the LOWEST of expectations. Get it correct, I expected absolutely terrible stuff from this one. I didn’t feel that animation companies these days could even roll with how things used to be. Everything these days is instant gratification and all. But, Toei delivered on this front.

Let’s run down the check list.

Original Style Animation w/ Updated Graphics √

Same names and Mannerisms √

Good Pacing w/o giving too much for a first episode √

Villain of the Week with a peek at Bigger Baddies √

All in all, looks like this might pan out. One episode isn’t enough to actually take a real opinion on a series. You can find it on both Cruchy for Premiums or on your normally “legally” hosted anime sites. Ciao.

XIV’s Movie Of The Week – August Rush

(c) WIkipedia

A few weeks ago, 13 was posting on FB about his list of Favorite Movies and suggested that I do the same. Said he was interested. Well, I thought long and hard about the best way to do it, I decided on just doing it over the course of a few weeks and I’m going to do it here. My top movies are like water molecules, once they get in the group, it is hard to tell which on is where. But we’re going to start with on that is most definitely in my top 5. August Rush

I started with August Rush because it isn’t the best movie for everyone. It’s a really sappy movie that really forces people to suspend their disbelief and just accept some things. But, the musical score is excellent and the movie is about a boy discovering his lineage and drawing his family together while bringing his family together.

Romantic – Check

Great Music – Check

Robin Williams playing a Villain? – Check

Now, you can watch this movie for free by searching for it on google (It’s not on Netflix) or you can pay $2.99 to rent it from Youtube. (Although the full movie is *probably* free on there too.)

Or here: http://putlocker.is/watch-august-rush-online-free-putlocker.html

But, be careful w/ your comps folks.

(Side note: I’ve already written like 4 months of these so you don’t have to worry about them not showing up for a while.)

 

See it Before You Die – Trails and Ways

So, before we get started, I’m going to apologize for two things. First off, I’m gonna apologize for taking over a week to type this out. But, you guys know me, that’s actually pretty fast for me. Secondly, I’m going to apologize for taking these photos with my phone which sucks ass at taking low light pictures better than Riku Minato in the middle of a 8 man gang bang. But, now that that is out of the way, let me tell you about the greatness that is this show I went to last Saturday.

I got a message on Twitter (yes, you can send me one. I tend to respond) that they were playing a show in Dallas at Three Links that weekend. So, I decided to head out there to check it out. Went into the venue and was pretty stoked. Venue was nice girl at the front, (didn’t get her name) was chill and personable unlike some people I’ve seen before. Which was nice. Peter got a drink that was reasonably price for the location so that was pretty sweet too. Got in there early and saw the first show, Chinaski, The Fury. That dude went out there by himself. He was great for a solo act. He had to use a loop and he admittedly play some songs that sounded like he made them up earlier that day, (Which he said he did, actually.) but the set was enjoyable to say the least.

Then, various things happened so I didn’t get to see Trails come in but when I got back in there they were about to start their first song. We pushed through the crowd and made our way off to the side where there weren’t that many people and we could post up on the wall. (Yes, I understand that makes for bad positioning. But, I wanted it to be a good for as many people as possible. I’m not a small guy.) And, I think that’s where my heart jumped to eleven. Trails was great. Emma told a funny story about a guy buying them drinks and Keith did most of the talking. it was a really personable group. They seemed really down to the earth and trying keep the crowd jamming. (It wasn’t needed though, the crowd was rocking hard with them.) Peter remarked that Ian was good then noted what a huge difference that drums make on a group. Then they told us they were going to play Mtn Tune. And I fell in love.

(c) my still crappy phone.

Now, I’m no expert on love. But I’m pretty sure that that is what I fell to when Hannah brought the magic out of that guitar. Emma was killing the bass line and Keith kept the line strong while Ian was beating those drums like he was trying to find oil in those hills. All the while, Hannah was making the guitar sing its own “Mtn Tune”. I had never heard this tune before and it was quenching a thirst I didn’t even know I had. I’d throw the link down at the bottom, but listening to it on your computer doesn’t even compare to hearing it live. It was phenomenal. The set was really short but it was totally enjoyable. You guys have to see them before you die. These guys are going to get big. If they don’t. It’ll be a damn shame and a crime against music.

(c) my even worse phone

I bought their CD (which is more like an EP, I wasn’t really listening to them describe it because I was still falling in love with Hannah) for 5 dollars and got to talk to Keith. He’s really down to earth and I told him how great was for me. Didn’t get a real chance to talk to Hannah, (which is good because I didn’t think I would have been able to form complete sentences and would have tripped on my words.) I’ll recommend these guys to anyone anytime.

Just Great.

(Side note: If Hannah ever reads this, I’d love to take you out for some lunch next time you’re in town. Everyone has to eat sometime right?)

An Ode to Some Nice Music. Twenty One Pilots- “Ode to Sleep”

(c) Youtube

Ever had a group that you listen to remind you of someone else but you couldn’t quite figure out who it was? Remember when you couldn’t exactly understand why you really liked a band? That was how I felt when I first listened to “Ode to Sleep” by Twenty One Pilots. Reminded me a bit of Panic @ the Disco mixed w/ a bit of Hollywood Undead. But, that’s just me, tell me what you think about them.

-See you on the flip side-
